Book Biters: without LJS TVD doesn't exist - Page 35

I can't deny that there is a strong chemistry between Damon and Elena. But this is, after all, a love triangle, with Stefan at the other point. And with Stefan back, Elena's guilt is enormous. I think that I may have gone with my own personal feelings a little too far in Shadow Souls--and now poor Damon is racked with human emotions and reactions to Elena. Anyway, I hope that the Delena squad understands that, well, those problems may make Damon end up doing things that he otherwise wouldn't do. Besides, Damon is the Bad Boy of the Vampire Diaries. He has to do some naughty things in order to keep his mind at ease.

Anyway, brace yourself for Midnight'and keep Shadow Souls on hand to read if you get worried, and be prepared for a wild ride.

Just ordered this:

ahh, so I want the writers to bring the whole Kat kidnapping E, S and D thing on the show - and D choosing his brother (not E!) over Kat. Am I the only one wanting that scene?

We are aware of the four letters that L.J. Smith has allegedly written to fans stating that she has been fired by HarperTeen/Alloy and will no longer be writing any Vampire Diaries books. We cannot comment on whether or not these are real, or if she has indeed been fired by the publishers.

We are trying to find this information out, and have contacted the publishers for official word on the matter. We will let you know as soon as we hear any kind of official word on the matter. We do ask for you to be patient though, as today is Sunday and we may not hear anything until tomorrow at the earliest when people are back at work.

In the meantime what we can confirm is that yes, the publishers can technically do this as L.J. Smith doesn't own the Vampire Diaries and the series belongs to Alloy Entertainment. L.J. Smith was hired back in 1990 to write the series for them, and signed a contract to say that the Vampire Diaries belonged to them. Alloy own the rights, and L.J. Smith has no say in what they do with the series.

We are aware that all fans are upset by this news regardless of whether or not it's true, but we ask you to please keep comments on this post civil. Remember that no matter who your favourite character or pairing is, you're all as upset as each other and there's no need to argue when you should be supporting each other.

^^This is so unfair man!

Thank You But Don't Boycott

Written by L. J. Smith | 09 February 2011

First, I want to thank my readers for all their messages of support. I've gotten far too many emails to answer, and I really appreciate the kindness and emotional sustenance you've given to me at this difficult time.

Second, if you've asked me a question about the future books or the endgame of The Vampire Diaries and I've been vague about what's in store, I'd like to take this opportunity to apologize. I really wasn't looking forward to the day when I would have to talk about this.

Third, and most importantly, I want to ask anyone who was thinking of it, not to boycott Harper's or anyone. It just doesn't make sense. Although I wanted and still want more than anything to be able to continue The Vampire Diaries series myself, there's no point in not trying the new books. (And remember, for fans of Bonnie and Damon, and strict Stefan and Elena fans, the immediate dynamics may be more to your liking.) Besides which, Midnight, which is all mine, is coming out in March, and I believe there may be some of my writing in Phantom.

Thanks again to all the fans who have shown loving and loyal kindness to me.

More DB? Yaay! 😛... But still... If it's not written by LJ I wont (probably) buy them just borrow them from the library...

Wait I'm confused is she saying the ghostwriters will give us SE and DB? Because I thought they hated Bonnie developments, considering all she had to fight for Bonnie and Bamon scenes. Regardless, my interest after Midnight was slim anyways, I'll try Phantom out and depending on the material I may waste my time with the last two.

@Dhruvi... That's what it says 😆... Considering they want SE as endgame it just makes sense for them to go for DB as endgame as well...
